about

There's a country girl in there somewhere!

This song was originally written for a project band I did w ith Mike Blaha of The Blind Shake, which we called Blaha and Costello. So I decided this tune would fit nicely at the records end.

Transformation. Killing off a part of oneself to see the true self. Birth. Life. Death..Dirt.. Ugly, Pretty...Toxicity, Neutrality
Ok. Done!

lyrics

I'm on the edge looking out.
I'm on the horizon of sunless doubt.
Scared to leave,
Afraid to stay.
A warm breeze says girl,
Give it one more day.
All the leaves are dead or dying.
All the while the trees are crying.
I'm at the fork in the road.
Found my way there on the hardest night.
Been on a path for so long.
There's no wall between right and wrong.
All the leaves are dead or dying.
all the while the trees are crying.
Bye babe.
Bye my love.
Home at last.
Home at last.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up.
Bye Babe.
Bye my love.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up.
I'm gonna need you to stay.
In my heart for just one more day.
Tomorrow I'll be cured.
But for now,
You'll have to take my word.
All the leaves are dead or dying.
All the while the trees are crying.
Bye Babe.
Bye my love.
Home at last.
Home at last.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up
Bye Babe.
Bye my love.
Home at last.
Home at last.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up.
I'm on the edge looking out.
I'm on the horizon of sunless doubt.
Scared to leave.
Afraid to stay.
A warm breeze says girl,
Give it one more day.
All the leaves are dead or dying.
All the while the trees are crying.
Bye Babe.
Bye my love.
Home at last.
Home at last.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up.
Bye Babe.
Bye my love.
Home at last.
Home at last.
I can't stand up.
I can't stand up.
